Half a bag of the Heath Toffee Bits remained after making the Caramel Crunch Bars with Tuesdays with Dorie...so I turned the package over and found the recipe for Oatmeal Toffee Cookies!

Half the batch were Oatmeal Toffee Cookies (click for recipe) with Heath Toffee Bits, and the other half used mini-chocolate chips.

I cut the sugar from 2 cups to 1 3/4, used old fashioned oatmeal instead of quick cook oatmeal, and (of course) did not include the optional coconut flakes. The package says you should get 4 dozen cookies but I got 5 dozen because I made them a bit smaller.

My toffee cookies came out a lot flatter than the chocolate chip ones...I wonder why? Same dough, just different "bits" added in. Oh well, they were gobbled up at the library.

Well, if you check way back in maybe January in my blog, you will see these are my FFHs favorites.. Really, I make these for him constantly. Its under Back of the package.. my post that is. I find this funny. But then I am an odd one:)

You just posted about two of my most favorite cookies. First of all, oatmeal in any cookie is a huge plus. It adds such great texture!! And heath, oh my beloved heath bars. I love it!! These cookies look just fabulous!

haha, I just googled Heath Oatmeal Toffee Cookies to see if I could find out why mine turned out so flat. Came upon your blog & read that yours were flat too! My daughter likes flat cookies so I'm just gonna roll with it. :) You have a lovely blog!
